ahmadinejad took the stage at the u.n. general assembly prompting the annual walkout, but many protesters outside say this year's speech is different. it's the ultimate insult. the man who wants to wipe israel off the map speaking on yom kippur, an important jewish holiday. >> iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad delivering his hate-filled rhetoric, and thousands of protesters turned out. >> we're here to support the opposition in iran, an to suppot against the dictator in iran. >> we are here to support our iranian brothers for their freedom since we have the same struggle, the same war, against this regime. >> the united nations is now anti-israel that the general assembly routinely does things that are disruptive. >> he's a murderer. he does not represent the iranian people. >> i was a student in the university of tehran. i know ahmadinejad is one of the persons that was torturing political prisoners. >> but the obama administration is not for regime change in iran. it shows a level of weakness that's dangerous. i call it provocative weakness. >> four years of the iranian dictatorship

,000 refugees have already left syria this year. in an address to the u.n., egyptian president morsi criticized the regime of bashar al-assad, but warned against international intervention in syria. >> egypt is committed to pursuing the sincere effort it has been making to put an end to the tragedy in syria. a framework that preserves the unity of this brotherly state must involve all sections of the syrian people without discrimination based on race, religion, or sex. it would spare syria the danger of foreign military intervention, which we oppose, of course make up in his final appearance before the u.n. general assembly before his term expires in nine months, iranian president ahmadinejad gave a more subdued speech than in previous years, addressing the threat of an israeli military attack on iran, ahmadinejad referred to israel as uncivilized zionists. >> intimidation by nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction have become prevalent. testing generations of older model prebendary the less weaponry [indiscernible] is now being used as a new language of threats against nations [indisce

>>> on the record. the japanese prime minister tells the u.n. general assembly that japan will stand firm in territorial disputes. he says japan is not willing to compromise in disagreements with its neighbors and told world leaders gathered at the united nations that his country will defend its sovereignty. noda did not name countries but spoke at a time of heightened tension with china over the senkaku islands and with south korea over the takashima islands. >> translator: the attempts to use unilateral power and threats to achieve selfish ends are not in accordance with the fundamental spirit of the united nations charter. that is unacceptable and goes against the wisdom of humanity. >> noda said it is the responsibility of nations to protect their territory. he said japan will fulfill its responsibility but stressed his country will uphold the principles shared by the international community under all circumstances. japanese government officials have tried to take their dispute with south korea to the international court of justice, but their counterparts in seoul have

leaders said at the u.n., and joined by former state department adviser now at the woodrow wilson center. aaron, thank you for coming in. benjamin netanyahu had a big diagram and relying on it. what happens if iran carries on enriching uranium? >> that is a problem that no one has the answer to. negotiations may have slowed to some degree iran's determination to acquire nuclear weapons capacity, but the truth is, we do not know. israel's default position is clear, if we do not succeed to negotiation, then military strength, preferably by the u.s. >> [indiscernible] >> this is the key. president obama is running for reelection. he understands that the last thing he needs is more uncertainty. oil prices could quadruple. plunging markets, more americans dying in afghanistan as a consequence of iran in troublemaker in -- troublemaking. as of right now, he does not accept the notion that this is a war of necessity. israel believes so, but no one else in the international community right now believes it. >> could there be a difference path for iran? >> i do not know. i suspect the intelligence

. >>shepard: he spoke at u.n. in new york. he said international leaders would want to preserve world peace must address the issue. he says israel is in discussions with the united states regarding the path forward. he pushed for a red line to stop iran, which he says will have what it needs to build a nuclear weapon by next summer. of course, iran has claimed their nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only. the fox report's chief correspondent is work the united nations today. jonathan, prime minister binyamin netanyahu is portraying this essentially as a fight between good and evil. >>jonathan: he absolutely put iran in the evil bracket. he said the regime is essentially the face of radical islam and the iranian regime would like to return the world to medieval times and the rest of the world is aware that iran has been a global sponsor of terrorism. to the delegates inside the general assembly, he put a simple question. i ask you, given this record of iranian agression without nuclear weapons, imagine iranian aggression with nuclear weapons. imagine their long-range missiles tipped w

's approach on this. but onhe question of israel, prime minister benjamin netanyahu addressing the u.n. today an he's been very hard on the president. "theew york times" also today saying theepublicans are e jh vote.ma a b playor would the angst of jewish voter on the question of iran put the jewish vote into play? >> if you look at the gallop poll of jewish voters, president ama is a%th question of which candidate jewish voters are likely to vote for in the election were to the t and that's ahead of what they were in the election in 2008. that's because, thomas, one thing is that on domesc issues, whether it's making inmeinedioea care, research, head start, civil work, standing up for people who have no voice. sh a very important season for jus an a time in which we focus on the importance to repairing d,t mneynd the republicans are wrong on every issue that matters to jus domestically and we are making sure that jewish voters understand that president obama has a stellar record on israel. an, in fact, i would just push back a little bit and say that p.m. netanyahu and president obama have a

of the entire week at the u.n. general assembly. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. palestinian president mahmoud abbas both scheduled to speak a few hours from now. we await the headline which one already this morning. i'm bill hemmer. martha: i'm martha maccallum. mahmoud abbas is expected to recognize the state of palestine will netanyahu will push action on iran. it was a 24 hours ago president mahmoud ahmadinejad stood in the same spot. he lashed out against israel and the united states. >> translator: the current abysmal situation of the world and history due mainly to the wrong management of the world and the self-proclaimed centers of power who have entrusted themselves to the devil. bill: david lee miller now is live at the u.n. and what can we expect to hear from the israeli prime minister after he left israel late yesterday? david lee, good morning there. >> reporter: good morning, bill. it is expect the by many that israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu will essentially put forth the argument where the red line should be for military action against iran if in the

on the sidelines of the u.n. general assembly. the japanese side called for calm in dealing with the issue. they said two countries should retain a broader perspective. but the chinese stood by their previous insistence that the islands are chinese territory. japanese government officials say china is expected to continue provocative activities near the islands for some time. japan is also hoping to have a foreign minister meeting with south korea in new york. but many observers say if the two ministers meet they are likely only to reiterate their positions without making any progress on the territorial dispute. so it appears little will be the result for the time being and the noda administration is expected to face further difficulty in deali with china and south katrina. >>> the chinese foreign ministry said that japan is infringing on other nations' sovereign city, ignoring history and international law. chinese foreign minister didn't show up for the speech. he's scheduled to speak at the u.n. on friday. he is expected to reiterate chinese claims and pressure japanese leaders into acc

of the u.n. general assembly. dealing with the issue. they said two countries should retain a broader perspective. but the chinese stood by their previous insistence that the islands are chinese territory. japanese government officials say china is expected to continue provocative activities near the islands for some time. japan is also hoping to have a foreign minister meeting with south korea in new york. but many observers say if the two ministers meet they are likely only to reiterate their positions without making progress on the territorial dispute. so it appears little will be the result for the time being and the noda administration is expected to face further difficulty in china and south korea. >> thank you very much. hundreds of chinese have protested in front of the u.n. headquarters. they were angry about the islands. the protesters gathered ahead of noda's speech. >> we need to let them know it belongs to china. >> the demonstrators waved flags and signs demanding they leave the islands. the chinese foreign ministry said japan is infringing on other nations' sovereignty,

at the u.n., the palestinian authority and prime minister of israel making addresses soon. we'll take those live as well. one leader is making a fresh push for independence. the other will ask the united states to help prevent all-out war with iran. let's go to richard roth, our senior united nations correspondent. first, let's talk about mahmoud abbas. last year he failed at that same podium to make the case that the palestinian status should be raised as a state, that they should have statehood. now he's going to go back and say we want a beefed-up status for palestinians shy of statehood. what would that accomplish? why is he doing that? >> well, for them, it's another symbolic improvement of their situation diplomatically. it is a step-down from the rousing reception he received last year when he announced that the palestinians want their own state and they made a push for it. the united states blocked them in the security council. the only organization here at the u.n. that can approve that. the u.s. has veto power. now they're back to palestinians. something called non-u.n. member sta

, the administration is very slow, even up to yesterday when the president's address to the u.n. general assembly slow to embrace this notion that it is in fact a terror attack, despite the fact -- you can't keep pointing to the film and protest when they show up with rpgs and mortars. >> that's the thing, eli, arguing against what my devil's advocate question was, they were publicly given a narrative. they were publicly linking this to that video as opposed to just saying we are investigating it. >> i think there are two different things going on right now. one is what happened in cairo? that clearly stemmed in part from a broadcaster who had jihadist sympathies talking about the internet video out in june. the second is what happened in libya. that has nothing to do, as i can tell, at this point, from the outrage over the video that started from a broadcaster in cairo. i think those two narratives kind of merged, at least in the telling of senior white house officials and other administration officials. >> bob, to you, what is the significance of this and i should point out, secretary clinton made t

weapon. do we have david lee at the u.n.? we'll toss david lee. stand by, we have your piece ready. >> netanyahu warned the general assembly unless stopped an soon iran will develop a nuclear bomb. >> to understand what the world would be like with a nuclear armed iran, just imagine the world with a nuclear armed al-qaeda. now it makes little difference, whether these lethal weapons are in the hands of the world's most dangerous terrorist regime. or the world's most dangerous terrorist organization. >> netanyahu said iran might be only months away from producing the enriched uranium needed to make a nuclear weapon. using a simple graphic, he explained that there are three stages and that iran is 70% toward completion. >> where should a red line be drawn? a red line should be drawn right here. before iran completes the second stage of nuclear enric enrichment. mess to make a before iran gets to a point where it's a few months away or a few weeks away from amassing enough enriched uranium to make a nuclear weapon. >> former u.n. ambassador bolton said iranians have been threatened wi

past the hour. palestinians expected to campaign for expanded status at the u.n. today. but stopping short of seeking full statehood right now. israel's prime minister taking the podium just minutes later. >>> foreign affairs reporter elise labott is here with a preview. what can we expect from the president abbas and prime minister netanyahu? >> with juan was supportive of that in the security council and so he kind of had to go back. he was popular at home but in the international community you saw some resistance to that. this year i think he's going to campaign for this nonobserver's status, kind of like the vatican. i think he understands with the u.s. election right now he's not going to push for a full vote. >> the timing is everything. he doesn't want to try to take away from that? >> prime minister netanyahu, i this i, a lot of people are seeing this as his final warning on iran. he only has one goal in mind. iron is the single topic of the day. i think he's going to warn the world about iran's nuclear program. i think we've been talking this week about red lines that he doe

on its heels and iran's ahminedjad takes to the u.n. on the holiest of jewish holidays to blast israel, but after that, it got very strange. the war on drugs. and why one prominent member of congress says it's high time for a brownie and a change. there are a lot of warning lights and sounds vying for your attention. so we invented a warning you can feel. introducing the all-new cadillac xts. available with a patented safety alert seat. when there's danger you might not see, you're warned by a pulse in the seat. it's technology you won't find in a mercedes e-class. the all-new cadillac xts has arrived, and it's bringing the future forward. the good they did inspires us, prepares us and guides us. at new york life, everything we do is to help you keep good going. in that time there've been some good days. and some difficult ones. but, through it all, we've persevered, supporting some of the biggest ideas in modern history. so why should our anniversary matter to you? because for 200 years, we've been helping ideas move from ambition to achievement. and the next great idea could be yours

of thinking. >> bill: mad man of iran insulting just about everybody at the u.n. we decided to turn the tables tonight and let miller loose on ahmadinejad. >> he is the impeerist do you df fuss. >> barack obama what do you think. >> it's all there in black and white. i hope the white part doesn't screw it up. >> our government is wiping its-[bleep] with the constitution. >> bill: new study out of the university of new hampshire celebrities saying dumb political stuff are hurting their careers. juliet huddy on that. caution, you where to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. >> bill: i'm birl, thanks for watching us tonight. the status of the presidential race right this moment that's the subject of this evening's talking points memo. this is is an important factor tonight because we are going to tell you straight up where the campaign is at this point in history. no spin, no nonsense. no ideology. two new polls today have r. very good news for president obama. the polling in general continues to be fluid. that is there is a wide discrepancy in the results and most importantly mo

coming out of the u.n. general assembly, and this afternoon it was israeli prime minister netanyahu talking about the fact there needs to be a clear red line drawn in terms of iran's nuclear ambitions and the standoff that's right now between iran and the west. that, of course, definitely helped to spend oil prices above $91 a barrel. we're looking at crude prices that topped $112 a barrel. we're also looking at geo political tensions that spread the two contracts to levels we haven't seen in several months. back to you. >> all right, sharon. thank you. she mentioned some of the move in oil today stemming from the tensions about iran's nuclear program. here's what israeli prime minister netanyahu told the u.n. less than an hour ago. listen. >> ladies and gentlemen, the relevant question is not when iran will get the bomb. the relevant question is, at what stage can we no longer stop iran from getting the bomb? >> well, it's tough talk with implications for oil, of course. the global economy, naturally. john killduff is a cnbc contributor. david foon is part of the fastest growing je

for more money to help syrians, as its estimate of refugees fleeing the fighting grew. the u.n. and its aid partners are now requesting more than $487 million in humanitarian assistance. by the end of the year, they estimate as many as 700,000 people will leave syria. the u.n.'s regional refugee coordinator made the appeal today in geneva. >> as we are seeing thousands of people crossing the borders and all the humanitarian actors were standing to help them and to provide the assistance, we only have one-third of the funding to be able to respond. so, continuous, generous response from donor countries at this crucial moment as winter, we are entering the winter period, it's really, extremely important. we are running out of time and we need the funding urgently. >> sreenivasan: separately, lebanese t.v. aired footage claiming to show syrian troops retaking control of an army complex rebels attacked yesterday in damascus. wednesday's bombings marked the largest security breach in the heavily-guarded capital since july. one of the most wanted drug traffickers in mexico has been captured. the

netanyahu is preparing to address the u.n. assembly a short time from now. he is expected to make his case against iran. netanyahu remarks come as speculation grows in the jewish state whether sanctions against iran are working fast enough to change iran's nuclear path. listen to secretary of state hillary clinton and what she said back in july. >> we know the sanctions are biting. united states and israel agree on that. and we talked about concrete steps we can take to continue to build the pressure. jenna: this has been the opinion of the obama administration and it continues to beat the drum that sanctions are working, that they are creating a change inside iran. is that correct? we have the executive director of the foundation for defense of democracies. mark, nice to have you back on the program. >> thanks for for having me, jenna. jenna: mark you're finishing up a study i can looking at time lines, time lines for the nuclear program for inside iran and time lines when these sanctions are really, really going to affect change inside the country. what did you find? >> well, jenna, what

drew a red line for iran's nuclear program today as he addressed the u.n. general assembly. see him there? he paused for effect. now, look at that rather crudely drawn bomb. colin powell moment. there was a purposefully simple diagram, kind of like a cartoon, designed to make what benjamin netanyahu believes is a very serious, but simple point. >> by next spring at most, by next summer, at current enrichment rates, they will be finished with medium enrichment and move on to the final stage. from there, it's only a few months, possibly a few weeks, before they get enough enriched uranium for the fist bomb. >> but in his speech this week, president obama did not give any such timeline. he certainly didn't draw a red line. >> so let me be clear, america warrants to revolve this issue through diplomacy and we believe there is still time and space to do so. but that time is not unlimited. >> netanyahu thanked the president for tough sanctions, but was clear to say those sanctions have not impacted the country's nuclear program, but did he give a veiled comparison between obama and the br

this afternoon. his comments come one day after iran's president addressed the same leaders at the u.n. and today the israeli prime minister warned that iran could enter the final stages of enriching uranium for a potential bomb by next summer. >> ladies and gentlemen the relevant question is noted when iran will get the bomb. relevant question at what stage can we no longer stop iran from getting the bomb? the red line must be drawn on iran's nuclear enrichment program because these enrichment facilities are the only nuclear installations that we can definitely see and credibly target. >> shep: israeli officials say they could soon strike iran's nuclear facilities with or without help from the united states. west has been using economic penalties to get them to abandon their program but so far, they haven't worked. >> there is an urgency that the israelis feel that the rest of the world doesn't. they are at arm's length from the iran regime that has a nuclear agenda. >> the israelis are feeling both the mentality and course of action that the u.s. has taken and west in general is naive. >> and s

ahmadinejad. this is eighth visit to the u.n. his last one. and he's created plenty of controversy on most of them. and some of the press interviews he continued to do that. but in his speech if you notice he was actually almost benile and talked about world peace and a will have of human beings. so he's trying not to get himself in to trouble, i think, though you know that's by the standards of ahmadinejad. so there's, you know there's plenty of digs and attack lines hidden in there. >> not trying to get himself in trouble, yet he might have a huge nuclear program problem on his hands according to prime minister of israel benjamin netanyahu. fareed, i always love having you on. thank you so much. let's remind everyone to watch your show sunday 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. right here on cnn. many thanks to you. >>> coming up next, the race for the white house just got even more interesting. listen to this. the government says it underreported the number of jobsesident obama and mitt romney may be adjusting the stump speeches. we'll explain next. as part of a heart healthy

at the u.n. general assembly. let's discuss the political fallout with our senior political analyst ron bro brownstein. when he shows up and draws a red line and suggests by next summer as he said earlier, six or seven months it will be too late. this is the time. it's got to be done. that puts enormous pressure i assume on the president. >> this has been extraordinary watching this over the past few weeks as prime minister netanyahu in a series of speeches and now this u.n. appearance, i think this is trying to maximize the leverage possible forsi oba to align with himn ts idea to establish a red line to trigger militionryac the president so far is saying no. lling this week shows the country divided evenly ono would better hdle the challenge, romney or obama. but it's also true there's been notitehink in the american pubor ano war in the mideast. in that sense netanyahu has kind of an uphill argument to push. >> howortant iss iue out there for those undecided voters specifically the decid voters in those key battleound states that ll teine wlo gets 270 electora college votes, we're talkin

watching at the u.n., they drew the line, with a simple tool, a red marker. we begin with our chief foreign affairs correspondent, andrea mitchell. >> reporter: netanyahu armed himself with a simple cartoon, to arm himself with what he says that iran has to developing a nuclear weapon. a day after iran's president mahmoud ahmadinejad from the same podium called israel uncivilized. they say that iran is close to getting ready for a nuclear bomb and has to be stopped within months. >> if these are the facts, and they are, where should a red line be drawn? a red line should be drawn right here. >> reporter: president obama told the u.n. this week he believes there is a way to avoid military action. >> america wants to resolve this issue through diplomace, and we believe there is time and space to do so. >> the big question is, at what point can we no longer stop iran from getting the bomb? and that is why, with a red pen, he drew the line, he was showing the world the point at which we may no longer be able to stop iran from getting the weaponry. >> reporter: as netanyahu took the stage today,

words from iranian president ahmadinejad. speaking before the u.n., he accused the u.s. and europe of entrusting themselves to the devil. he referred to israelis as, quote, uncivilized. but ahmadinejad made no mention of his country's nuclear program. the u.s. and israel boycotted his speech as they traditionally do. >>> and chilling images out of syria from yesterday's back-to-back attacks in damascus. state tv shows the moment one of the suicide bombs went off, exploding in a white van. you see it there. the government says four military guards were killed in those blasts. but rebels say dozens, in fact, died. in all more than 340 people were killed across the country, making it the deadliest day since that conflict began. >>> back here at home. police in suburban detroit are looking into a new claim about the location of jimmy hoffa's body. they will take soil samples from the ground beneath a driveway after a man told them he believes he witnessed hoffa's burial 35 years ago. there's been a number of searches for hoffa since the teamster leader disappeared in 1975. >>> time for

for israel's prime minister to take his turn at u.n. general assembly any moment now. joining me first, former u.s. ambassador to israel, dennis ross, who held top jobs in middle east policy including iran and three administrations, the obama white house. a midder middle east diplomacy for msnbc and washington institute. dennis, let's talk about what netanyahu signaled he's doing today, demanding an ultimatum to iran on its nuclear program something the administration, the white house, has insisted they needambiguous. who is right here? >> imnot sure there is as wide a gap as you think. i believe what you're seeing is an agreement on the objective of making certain that iran cannot have nuclear weapons and then also i think agreeing that you have to come up with some kind of threshold to know when the objective of prevention has a meaning and it doesn't lose its content. i do think where the prime minister's coming from is, he wants to put, i think, a premium on having a clear definition of what's the point past which if iran crosses that particular line or tloesh hohreshold you'r long

, the administration is very slow. including up to yesterday with the president's address to u.n. general assembly, very slow to embrace this notion that it is a terror attack. you can't keep pointing to this film and protest when they show up with rpgsand mortars. >> that is the thing, eli. arguing against my devil's advocate question was, they were publicly giving in error, linking this to that video as opposed to just saying we are investigating. >> i think is there are two different things going on right now. one is what happened in cairo and that stemmed in part from a broadcaster who had jihadist sympathies, talking about the internet video in june. the second is what happened in libya, which i think had nothing to do with the outrage over the video, which started from a broadcaster in cairo. and those two narratives kind of merges, at least in the telling of the senior white house officials and other senior administration officials. >> bob, what is the significance of all of this? and secretary clinton made the strongest statement today. between the attacks to al qaeda. you have been saying

. and in fact the u.n. has had a red line on iran in the past and it doesn't mean anything. you want president obama to decisively talk about the military option. do i have that right? >> absolutely. what i want is a black and white clear statement from the president to the people and the leaders of iran why are you undergoing sanctions. we're not going to let you develop a nuclear bomb. we're not going to tell you when, but we're telling you under no circumstances are we going to allow you to have a nuclear bomb. and if it comes to it, we will use the military option. now, the president's come close to saying that. he has said we'll do what we have to do. no option is off the table. we're using prevention, not containment, but i wish he would speak a little bit more clearly and stop some of his subordinates. after all, vice president biden condemned mitt rochl any for are you saying we should be readied to go to war? yes, we should be ready to go to war with iran and if we're ready to go to war with iran and iran knows it, we won't have to go to war with iran. >> and general clark, welcome ba

is in new york city for the u.n. general assembly, or, as we like to think of it, the reason i can't get to work because of traffic! (laughter) the event has s a gathering in the international juggalos. with libya in turmoil, syria in flames, iran on the verge of a nuclear weapon, an incredible opportunity for our president not just to address the world community but for some high-level pres-on-pres action. >> the white house says he has no plans to have any private leadings with world leaders. >> jon: oh. (laughter) well, that's-- probably protocol. it's not the time for one-on-one meetings with other world leaders! >> our research shows it's been 20 years since a president has been to that meeting and not met one on one with a foreign leader. (audience reacts). >> jon: oh. (laughter) well, i guess if the world leaders would like to meet with him personally they can just donate $5 to his campaign and take their chances like the rest of us. (laughter) seriously. i'm sure there's a good reason why president obama's not going to be face to face with world leaders in these difficult and his

(laughter) >> jon: although inside it does hurt a little bit, doesn't it?

our conflict with libelous speeches at the u.n. that is not the way to solve them. we will not solve our conflict with unilateral declarations of statehood. we have to sit together, negotiate together, and reach a mutual compromise in which a demilitarized palestinian state recognizes the one and only jewish state. >> dw's correspondent has been covering all the action for us. earlier, we asked if anything new came out of abbas' speech. >> the topics he touched upon have been the same for decades now. the important part was, as many as expected -- as many expected, he will go for new status within the united nations. for now, they are what is called permanent observers, but they want to become a non-member state, meaning that would give them more capacities -- for example, to apply to be part of the international criminal court or the world health organization. he said he would do that within the next -- or this session of the general assembly, which ends sept. in a year. >> where are the chances of non-member staff is being granted to the palestinians -- what are the chances of non-

will also adress the u.n. today. he's expected to ask world leaders to recognize palestine as a so-called "observer state." the united nations refugee agency and other humanitarian groups are appealing for nearly half a billion dollars to help those trying to escape the civil war in syria. the agency says 294,000 syrian refugees have already flocked to jordan, lebanon iraq and turkey. that number could reach 700- thousand by the end of the year. there was more shelling and heavy gunfire in several syrian cities today.. and opposition activists say at least 22 more people were killed. the opposition says more than 30,000 have died since anti- government unrest began in march of last year. police have received new most well-known and mysterious disappearances in u.s. history. a tipster informed police that a body was buried beneath a driveway at a home in suburban detroit in 1975... around the same time mobster jimmy hoffa disappeared. the tipster didn't say it was hoffa's body, but police believe the information is credible. crews will begin digging tomorrow morning and will send a

. this after last year's failed bid to win u.n. recognition of a palestinian state. now, shortly after he speaks, israel's prime minister will take the podium p. and mr. netanyahu is expected to focus on iran rather than on palestinians. he's likely going to warn the united nations about the threat that israel faces from iran's controversial nuclear program, but his warnings take on a new sense of urgency after making it clear that israel would preemptively attack iran if diplomacy fails. netanyahu's threats have put i suppose you could call a significant strain on relations with the united states and president obama in particular who the prime minister of israel says is pushing to establish a clear red line. it is quite possible you'll hear about the red line again. and i do have breaking news for you, as well. cnn has learned that president obama has a plan to have a follow-up phone call with prime minister netanyahu tomorrow action all of this after the israeli government confirming there was an effort to put a meeting on the books when prime minister netanyahu was here in the united s

not secretary of state clinton? it was after all her responsibility, not the u.n. ambassador which was a great job and does nothing to do with our ambassador in libya. lou: to be clear, you are implying that the reason was the secretary clinton knew better and was not about to go out and line. >> i think that's a good hypothesis. lou: let's turn to another public appearance, that of the prime minister of israel. standing up saying he wants a clear, bold, red line. 90 percent is the level. the final stage for the iranians to have a nuclear bomb before that line is breached. this is not a discussion that has already been had with the president, not in discussion that is -- is started in a way as if he was a lone operator. >> he is. as the leader of the democratic society has an obligation to lay out for his assistance when he's going to it taken into military action. at think they're very close to that point. he has tried to have that discussion that the president and it has failed. that is what he was basically doing today, and he made some key points. he moved a little bit in the obama adminis

[ cheers and applause ] that's the country i believe in. >>> jim acosta is covering the romney campaign. jim, one of the interesting things back in 2008 in covering president obama, you knew that there was a sense that he could possibly win when people started showing up in virginia. i mean that was really th turning pot. they thought perhaps we have this thing because we've got folks out in virginia. that was making history. that had not happened, a democrat getting that state since 1964. lyndon johnson. you know have an opportunity, the president, i think to do it again. how does the romney campaign respond to that? >> reporter: that's right. if pdent oma were to win the state of virginia because no democrat hadjohnson in 1964, hee first democrat to do it twice in a generation. so obviously it is a big challenge for the president to try to win this critical battleground state one more time. that's why mitt romney is in the state today trying to take it away from him. this state, le

subdued iranian president ahmadinejad. 35 minutes at the podium at the u.n. as usual the u.s. and israel refuse to sit and listen. you can see the empty seats. this time ahmadinejad made no mention of iran's nuclear program and on this, the holiest day of the year in jewish faith. yom kippur. he uttered only a vague reference to israel as, quote, uncivilized. >> and last night we told you of the wildly controversial call on the football field and those replacement referees being blamed. tonight there's word the professional referees could be back, the nfl lookout could be ending. how soon? abc's dan hairs has the latest. >> reporter: in the aftermath of the bad call heard around the world, the league and the referees union reportedly held an 18-hour negotiating session -- and tonight, according to our sister network, espn, a deal is quote, "at hand." that late-game debacle -- that hail mary, the scramble in the end zone, and the two replacement refs making totally different calls -- >> this is comical to me. >> reporter: the touchdown that really looked like an interception, but let seat
